Dax is known for stirring the pot and always working in that old school way, so I would take everything he says with a grain of salt. I'm sure on some level he's annoyed at the Bucks thinking they are better than him, but at the end of the day business is business.

If when WALTER leaves WWE, he can just say Gunther was his younger brother

Based on the tag match it looks like Imperium is getting blown up for main roster callups.

That's the face you make when someone asks you to do the one thing that would make the Internet hornier than a thousand female wrestler's OnlyFans.

Probably Bron's last test before getting the rocket "if he survives this guy beating the shit out of him, he's the next champ"

I'm guessing once they decided to strap up Bron on Raw, they changed the women's tag so the NXT crowd would still see a title win?

I mean it is the same championship being promoted by the same company so it *is* the same title Dusty won, all be it with like 1/50th the prestige. It's a lot closer Dusty's legacy than the title of the company that went back and forth between trying to put the people who he worked for out of business and making fun of him.

That's pretty good considering not only was it going against the NCAA championship game, it was a good one that went down to the wire.

Having said that, it will definitely work well in WWE since fans there rarely get to see any kind of emotion in promos so it won't matter as much if it comes off a little actor-y. In AEW, fans see people cut from the heart promos practically every week so if you aren't sounding 100% real they're not going to buy it. Which I think was Cody's entire problem there.

When Bryan was fighting back tears when Regal was praising him, I 100% believed it was real emotion. When Cody came out last night it looked like he was trying to force it out, and it didn't look genuine. Which is wild, because he was talking about his deceased legendary father who I don't doubt was legit his hero. That's why Cody gets called out for it because it just doesn't come off as real emotion, especially after he spent a weekend doing the carniest of carny interviews.

Yeah for what his career goals seem to be, WWE is a much better fit for him. I have my doubts it will happen because WWE gonna WWE, but even taking that into account he's got a better shot of doing it here than he did in AEW.

Is it me, or does it seem Cody really left the company he helped found and had a cushy executive job at just so he could be the babyface he obviously wants to be? He clearly was getting frustrated at the AEW crowds not 100% cheering him, and as carny as he is, he's giving the impression all he wants is to be a beloved babyface.

This would have been an alright Raw on most weeks, kinda sucked as a OMG RAW AFTER MANIA show. A show who's claim to fame is the time when new faces and surprise returns pop up we got..... *checks notes* Elias looking like a sheared sheep claiming to be his younger brother.

Damian Priest's voice is like what Scott Hall would have sounded with a real Spanish accent.

No disagreement on either point really, but Black pulls off the dark side gimmick way better than Edge. At least 2022 Edge. This looks like something post-Brood Edge should have evolved into.

It's the House of Bla....er Edge!

VEER IS COMING ALL OVER WWE RAW

So Vince thought repackaged Elias looked too much like Randy Savage so now he looks like Young Randy Savage......huh

Send Roman to NXT to win that belt too so he can go full Triple Crown

Seth stealing Malcom Bivens' pink suit swag from NXT Stand and Deliver, smh

Dusty would be loving this shit, this is the most Cody has ever channeled his dad.

Cody getting to say "belt" on WWE TV, he really does have creative control

It is interesting to see how Vince sees some people who leave and come back to be stuck in time from their last appearance (like John Morrison), and others are allowed to evolve like Drew and Cody.

It's so odd hearing Cody's AEW themesong about how he was fucked by WWE playing on Raw.

To me NXT started to lose its luster when they kept pushing programs past their sell by date and everyone had to have their own version of "I love you, I'm sorry".
